Today is going to slip away.
Away and into oblivion.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened
To change my life.
And I? I did nothing
To change the lives that intersected with me
In this day.
But I lived it.
I lived it as best I could.
And when it slips away,
It will have been expended,
Perhaps rationally and calmly,
But
With nothing left unspent.
Today is slipping away
But I
Am not going with it.
